Artist mode sounds familiar to me. But I am not sure where or when I have read about it.
Pure Cabinet in the System Menu

JUST GUESSING HERE....but....
Maybe 'Artist Mode' is some new section where famous guitarists rigs are profiled and then the artist tweaks the effects etc to get signature tones.
Again, just a huge guess!

If you turn up Pure Cabinet to 10 you get on Main Out -> FRFR a tone that is strictly similar to the Monitor Out -> Guitar Cab
Monitor Out tone doesn't change.Pure Cabinet = 10
Main Output -> FRFR system (i.e. studio monitors)
Monitor Output -> Guitar Cab
-- now you can tweak the Monitor EQ till the Cab output becomes the closest to the FRFR ouput. --This is also very useful for creating tones using Monitor -> Guit Cab while keeping a good tone in Main Out also, for recording or PA.
If you create a tone listening to the guitar cab only, the resulting tone in the Main Out could be not so close, i.e. too much presence.Sorry for my poor English

but when you dial in the tone that goes to a real cab for FRFR the whole cab colour is missing. I dont know..when i turn the knob it simply does not sound good to me and it does not sound like a amp without cab/mic to me also.
But i think it could be interesting in the future..at this time i dont care much about that -

Nope. If you set Pure Cab to 10 and Monitor Cab Off under Output the tone you get from a guitar cab can be very close to the tone you get from the FRFR connected to the Main Output after some tweaking on the Monitor EQ (by ear). If the cab is not the same as the profiled cab some coloration still be there, but you can get a very good result. Saving the Output parameters as a dedicated preset, you can then quickly set the KPA to play on real cab whith a good level of fidelity, and all rigs will sound properly and much close to the respective original tone.
I've tested such thing: obviously not perfect, but very good results.

Loosigoosi, I hear a clear change in tone through Monitor out as well.
It adds punch (low-end) and tames the highs at the same time, so it is mostly heard with distorted tones. On clean tones, where the harmonic contents are by far lesser, I just heat a slight increase in the body of the sound (which basically gives the impression to be playing through a bigger 4x12).I agree with deadpan here that the difference is dramatic through my CLR! Now that I use it @ 10, I ask myself how I could do without before...
The control seems to take care of all the distorted rigs-related fuzziness thing an "FRFR" reveals and that was addressed via the various lowpass tricks we know.Great

In spectrum analizer I see, pure cab straightened everything from cca 5000 Hz
There are not any curves/ up.down.up etc./
Simple line .
Till 5000 Hz is everything same.
Sorry stupid explanation:-) . -
oh i thougt the opposite way..i will try it
-
It will be interesting to see what the official recommended uses will be for this feature.
-
Maybe We wil be surprised in future.I see in Debug mode ,, AMP---USB , USB ------AMP.
I am not Spy , maybe this thinks are secret.:-)

Don't break your Kemper

I dont touch anything.Only browsing /surfing in my Toaster/:-)

Uh, so strange... For me, using a guitar cab on Monitor, there is no audible difference... Need more tests. The crackling during rotation of the knob is a little confusing.
I confirm better live sound at 10.(I suppose you are testing the Monitor Output with a cab connected, CAB ON and Monitor Cab OFF... If not so, there may be some different behavior, a spectrometer graph may be useful, but the settings must be those I've listed)
Update: OK, just verified, monitor out is affected. Thanks.
-
From my (5') experience I believe this function aims at making an "FRFR" cab sound more like a guitar cab. So it's no surprise you can't appreciate a meaningful change in sound, since it's probably cutting out frequencies your guitar cab can only marginally reproduce, if this makes sense.
CLR, Monitor out with Cabs on here.
-
It seems to me that the opposite feature (make a guitar cabinet sound more like FRFR) would make the Powered Kemper easier for traditional guitarists to use with the cabinets they already have. They could leave the Kemper cabs on, like FRFR users do.

I really like this idea, then we could choose how much of the cab to remove.

Paults...then the dialed in tone up to 10 should not get duller on my Studiomonitors.
i think its something totally different

I understand the effect you are all describing. I can see how it might make the transition to a different kind of cabinet easier for someone who has never really heard a cabinet pointed directly at them. An adjustable roll-off of high frequencies is a great way to minimize the difference.
There are also many guitarists who come to the forum who want to use their guitar cabinets. If there was a way to leave the Kemper cabinets on, and still be able to hear something very similar to FRFR from a 4x12 cabinet, or with an open back 1x12, many more people would be interested in owning one.
Because there are so many different kinds of guitar speakers, it would be much harder to design, but, adding some Output Presets, with a "Tweak" control for fine tuning, might be a valid approach.

The Kemper engineers must be grinning at all this speculation ...
